Riding the “Little Galibier”, one of the minor road passes of the Massif de la Sainte-Baume. Its route to the col de Pas de la Couelle (525 m.) is twisting and tortuous as it climbs through the pine forests of Mt. Regagnas (715 m.). The route links the small towns of St. Zacherie and Trets and passes a memorial to infantry of the Légion Étrangère.
The clear roads are a sort of compensation for the disappointing weather. Go play!

Memorial to the 11e and 12e REI (infantry regiments of the French Foreign Legion) with an original milestone of the Route de la Légion, a track forged through this forest in July-August 1940 by survivors of the 11e REI following the armistice of June 1940.
